Lane Closures Continue
The California Dept. of Transportation (Caltrans) will continue intermittent closures of two lanes on the eastbound and westbound I-210 through Thursday, Nov. 5 each night from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Scheduled closures are subject to change and/or cancelation.

Continuing through Nov. 5:
Eastbound SR-134 to eastbound I-210
• Remove existing concrete pavement from number one and two lanes.

Continuing through Nov. 5:
Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Ocean View Boulevard overcrossing to the Foothill Boulevard overcrossing – installing drainage system. Note: Day and night time work will be performed behind K-rail.

Residents and local businesses located near the freeway may notice noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities. Noise levels will not exceed state and federal regulations. Water trucks will be used to minimize dust during working hours.

The night time closures are necessary to minimize traffic delays and provide a safe work zone for construction crews and motorists while working along the I-210.
